The answer, of course, is simple. People are applying a lower standard to Obama. And it isn't because of his personal charm and charisma. It's because of his race.

Roger on the race thing. That is why he could BBQ little kids on the White House lawn, and it would be a resume enhancer.

Once read an article on FR of the breakdown of demo. and repub. in all the polls, Independents also...every poll was weighted heavy with democrats. Thats why polls are crappy.

If you had common snese you would not have voted for Obama.

RE: “It's because of his race.”

I disagree.

First off, Obama is mixed race, his Mother was white.

Any talk about Obama being a Black president is pure bull.

Second, America has changed.

About 50% of voters want European Socialism.

Some polls claim a majority of Americans are “Conservative.”

Again, I say bull.

Hispanics overwhelmingly claim they are Conservative, but for the last 52 years they have voted 60%-75% for the Democrat presidential nominee.

Blunt mathematical reality - about 1/3 of voters are non-white, and they vote about 80% for the Democrat Party.

About 2/3’s of voters are white, and they vote about 60% for the Republican Party.

Obama’s approval rating stays high because 40%-50% of Americans consistently support his Socialist vision.

Americans are supposed to be about freedom.

Socialism isn’t about freedom.

What is wrong with this picture?

In one particularly egregious case, a professor assigned someone to write a black graduate student's master’s thesis for her. She simply wasn't able to do it herself.

It wasn't that these educators were merely afraid of accusations of racism. They were also afraid of admitting they were wrong. To do so would expose the lie that affirmative action is "just a tie breaker," rather than a deeply racist policy that assumes black inferiority and then uses the assumption to justify admitting unqualified students on the basis of race.

Looks like an honest discussion of race has started... this is worth reading.

Sorry, but you’re wrong. There’s no way 50% of Americans want socialism. Give me a link to prove it.

....... a professor assigned someone to write a black graduate student's master’s thesis b/c the student wasn't able to do it herself. Educators are afraid----to expose the lie that "affirmative action is just a tie breaker," rather than a deeply racist policy that assumes black inferiority and then uses the assumption to justify admitting unqualified students on the basis of race......

Read Michele Obama's vacuous Princeton thesis--her range of intellectual depth goes all the way from a to b.

Makes you wonder how Obama got onto law school-—since there’s no record of his having attended the college he listed on his law school application.

Guess they just took him at his word-—as did all the Americans who believed him when he said “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

Obama is half white. No matter his color, Obama would still be a moron. Blame it on whatever you choose. The fact remains he isn’t very smart. And those who voted for him, especially more than once, are even less smart.

“Republicans and Independents are overwhelmingly opposed to socialism, and as Rasmussen has concluded, just 24 percent of all Americans have a favourable opinion of socialism, with 67 percent holding an unfavorable view of a socialist economic system. According to Rasmussen, 68 percent of Americans hold a favourable view of “capitalism,” and 76 percent have a positive view of the “free enterprise system.”

The above from ilovesarah’s link...

Need a link?

How about the last two presidential elections where more than half the electorate voted for Santa Claus?
